Message #2726 of 6634  *NEW* To :   All From :   The Olde English Ds   Subject :   Four Tiny Tidbits On: The Detroit Tigers - The Curse of Bubba Helms Date :   3/23/06, 10:57pm *** This is the first I've heard of this curse *** After the Tigers won the 1984 World Series, a man named Bubba Helms famously posed in front of a burning police car with a Tigers’ World Champions pennant, forever linking in people’s minds the image of rioting hooligans and the city of Detroit. The Tigers have only sniffed the World Series once since then, losing to the Twins in ‘87 in the ALCS, and have lately spiraled into mediocrity. Helms later committed suicide, overdosing on pain pills. -------------------------------------------------------- Go Tigers!!! -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #2726 • Back to Topics 981 reads 1361 clickthrough(s) You cannot start a topic in the Headlines or Classifieds area... if you want to post a new message, try one of our other message areas!
